[Verse 1]
Shine, shining, the thought in your mind
As you're racing away from the light
Tonight, the feeling inside
Is a tension that's outside of time
As you climb, the face of the rock
Has a feeling that's winding you tight
It's alright, your instincts are always right
[Chorus]
Give me a peace sign
Throw your hands in the air
Give me a peace sign
Let me know you're there
Give me a peace sign
Throw your hands in the air
Give me a peace sign
Let me know you're there
[Verse 2]
Think I'm ready, yеs I'm ready
This is the window and I'm not waiting
I'm not waiting, with no direction
I'm all rеady for satiation
No returning, no way home
And I think I might lose my phone and
In the moment, now I feel, and finally I'm real
[Chorus]
Give me a peace sign
Throw your hands in the air
Give me a peace sign
Let me know you're there
Give me a peace sign
Throw your hands in the air
Give me a peace sign
Let me know you're there
[Post-Chorus]
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Give me a peace sign
Throw your hands in the air
Give me a peace sign
Let me know you're there
Give me a peace sign
Throw your hands in the air
Give me a peace sign
Let me know you're there
[Post-Chorus]
La, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la

Andy Bell:
It’s a bit like [2008 documentary] Man On Wire. t’s about this guy called Marc-André Leclerc and he was an absolute kind of rock star free climber.
I came into the studio with ‘Peace Sign’ and finished it off with a reference to the film. It’s mainly about this section where he knows he...
